Since I'm switching over for a flat tappet most of the valvetrain will be changed - including retainers, since they wont fit the new springs. Haven't posted any pics of the exhaust valves yet but both stems and dishes looks good. They'll be milled if needed! Heads and headers are back from the...

Cleaned everything with diesel and then cleaned the valves with a brass brush on a drill. Really turned out OK! (Pic of head is before cleaning)

Dissasembled the heads this weekend. Looked rough even with clean-up! I consider the intake valves unusable (maby 3-4 of them looked OK) So they will be replaced. Waiting for the heads to be acid-bathed at a shop to get all rust and gunk out. It was really obvious that water had come in the...

No stones for me! I will take the heads to a machine shop that's really experienced with headwork, it'll be exciting to see the result!

So milling the existing seats is a no-no for bigger valves? In that case I might settle with a dingleball rebuild with my existing parts. Plan is to be as cheap as possible. With upgrades each year rather than everything at once!

Hi! "Rebuild season" is closing in here in sweden and it's time to get some work on my 360 Valiant. Found a pair of 308 heads for cheap in pretty bad order (donor engine had water in cylinders) so I'll have to do some valve work. Found out that 2.02 valves aren't that expensive on summit so...

Thanks for the input! I'm probably byuing a low mileage '90 360 this week to take the heads from! Just as said earlier in the thread I'll try to figure out the CC volyme of the engine and deck the heads there after! Headers are turning out to be a major headache tho. A little too pricey long...

I'm kinda in the same situation as the original poster here, got a '63 Valiant with a 360 and "stock" K-frame and steering, with torsion bars. TTI's are just over my budget... Easiest installation (and coolest!) in my opinion would be fenderwells. And I've been searching and searching on and...

Hi! I'm new here and bumping the thread! Bought my first proper car earlier this year, a 1963 Valiant and I have recieved tons of help from HP2 on the car!!! Tore out the old 318 from the car and replaced it with one of his 360 engines. Currently running it with a stock 340 intake, a rebuild...
